My PawPaw is one of the few people who have touched my life as a rolemodel. He had so many stories and life lessons that I desperately wish I had down on paper to remember. Though I'll miss him dearly, I'm happy for him. He's home with Jesus and my Nana now. All of his geneology mysteries have been answered.
